I have a great passion for flavors and cuisines that I picked up from my mom.  She always cooked for our family and food was a big part of my life from an early age.  I will admit that I was a particular eater and found it difficult to enjoy most sweets.  Weird for a kid, right?  Especially one that grew up to bake pastries and desserts.

 

My love for pastries really started during my travels through South Korea and Japan.  The baked goods I tasted there shared airier textures, subtler flavors and had a delicate sweetness compared to the American-style of decadence and richness.  This opened a new world to me and I was dedicated to bringing the style and balance of taste back home so others could also experience it.  

 

Fast forward to today - I carry on the tradition of sharing my food and meals with my two sons, family, and friends.  My specialty revolves around a balance of lighter sweetness, and emphasis on taste and aroma of ingredients.  

 

I invite you to try out my coffee crunch cake.  It's a light moist layer cake topped with coffee honeycomb crunch.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy making it. 

 

 

May life always be a little SWEET!
